1. Summary:

Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each
vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, noarch, ppc64, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, noarch, x86_64

3. Description:

* Buffer overflow in eCryptfs. When /dev/ecryptfs has world writable
permissions (which it does not, by default, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6),
a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service
or possibly escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-2492, Important)

* Integer overflow in the RDS protocol implementation could allow a local,
unprivileged user to cause a denial of service or escalate their
privileges. (CVE-2010-3865, Important)

* Missing boundary checks in the PPP over L2TP sockets implementation could
allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service or escalate
their privileges. (CVE-2010-4160, Important)

* NULL pointer dereference in the igb driver. If both Single Root I/O
Virtualization (SR-IOV) and promiscuous mode were enabled on an interface
using igb, it could result in a denial of service when a tagged VLAN packet
is received on that interface. (CVE-2010-4263, Important)

* Missing initialization flaw in the XFS file system implementation, and in
the network traffic policing implementation, could allow a local,
unprivileged user to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3078,
CVE-2010-3477, Moderate)

* NULL pointer dereference in the Open Sound System compatible sequencer
driver could allow a local, unprivileged user with access to /dev/sequencer
to cause a denial of service. /dev/sequencer is only accessible to root and
users in the audio group by default. (CVE-2010-3080, Moderate)

* Flaw in the ethtool IOCTL handler could allow a local user to cause an
information leak. (CVE-2010-3861, Moderate)

* Flaw in bcm_connect() in the Controller Area Network (CAN) Broadcast
Manager. On 64-bit systems, writing the socket address may overflow the
procname character array. (CVE-2010-3874, Moderate)

* Flaw in the module for monitoring the sockets of INET transport
protocols could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2010-3880, Moderate)

* Missing boundary checks in the block layer implementation could allow a
local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4162,
CVE-2010-4163, CVE-2010-4668, Moderate)

* NULL pointer dereference in the Bluetooth HCI UART driver could allow a
local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4242,
Moderate)

* Flaw in the Linux kernel CPU time clocks implementation for the POSIX
clock interface could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2010-4248, Moderate)

* Flaw in the garbage collector for AF_UNIX sockets could allow a local,
unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service. (CVE-2010-4249, Moderate)

* Missing upper bound integer check in the AIO implementation could allow a
local, unprivileged user to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-3067, Low)

* Missing initialization flaws could lead to information leaks.
(CVE-2010-3298, CVE-2010-3876, CVE-2010-4072, CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4074,
CVE-2010-4075, CVE-2010-4077, CVE-2010-4079, CVE-2010-4080, CVE-2010-4081,
CVE-2010-4082, CVE-2010-4083, CVE-2010-4158, Low)

* Missing initialization flaw in KVM could allow a privileged host user
with access to /dev/kvm to cause an information leak. (CVE-2010-4525, Low)

4. Solution:

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues. Documentation for the bugs
fixed by this update will be available shortly from the Technical
Notes document, linked to in the References section. The system must
be rebooted for this update to take effect.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh [package]". Do not
use "rpm -Uvh" as that will remove the running kernel binaries from
your system. You may use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after
determining that the new kernel functions properly on your system.
